Caballerial - Skateboarding Dictionary

By , About.com Guide

Definition: The Caballerial is an aerial skateboarding trick.

The Caballerial is basically a backside fakie 360 ollie. Steve Caballero invented and named the trick in 1981. Steve first performed the Caballerial in pools and on ramps, but the trick has evolved quite a bit in the last few decades. Now, skaters perform Caballerials on flatland, and anywhere else they want to!

The "Half-cab" is a variation of the Caballerial where the skater spins only 180 degrees instead of the full 360.

Also Known As: "Full Cab", "Cab"
Examples:
"Stevie popped his board and whipped it around into a full cab, landing with a grin."
